    • create e-mail notifications for meet-ups "in the making"

      currently, in order to notify members for a new event other media is used such as Facebook since members are not notified unless a meet-up has become official

      • ADD FAVORITES to MY GROUPS.

        I'm in so many Groups now that I have to Do "A-Lot" of Scrolling through them all..

        MY IDEA.

        ADD a way to VIEW FAVORITE Groups in the My Groups Drop-Down on front page... Perhaps ADD a Tab called Favorites. OR maybe just push Favorites to the top on the (MY-groups list)..

        • make profiles searchable by age in a group

          For instance, in one of the meet groups we have for people w/STDS and its a mix bag and we dont really discirmate againts certain age group,but makes it difficult to look trough members profile,and some dont have images so then u have to kind of guess with this kind of feature it would be easier to talk/hang with a certain age group

          • Add a 'Location' tab that would come up ALPHABETICALLY by LOCATION on the Member search data page

            Providing this tab will enable Organizers and any member who becomes an event host a few things
            1) to plan events that might provide higher attendance. ..... If an Organizer/Event Host is able to see where the majority of the ACTIVE members (ones who visit the site frequently) are located it will be easiest to cater to them at least most of the time
            2) It will provide Organizers/Event Hosts with the ability to try to include non-majority ACTIVE members.
            3) It will alert Organizers to members who might be in the group (NON-ACTIVE members) where it is not realistic…

              • private event/meeting/meetup for a meetup group

                There are times when the "Leadership Team" need to get together to discuss various items such as planning, organization, etc which they prefer to keep offline before making a public announcement. In other words, it is not something we want to discus publicly or have just anyone in the group come to the event or be included in the discussion. The MeetUp system is a great way to provide for this forum. It would be nice to be able to have a setting to organize a private meeting with any member at the discretion of the organizer and/or leadership team.

                • Being able to find a Group by it's name/title.

                  I know the name of a Group, but can't find anywhere to search for it. I have had this happen with other friends, too. And with most people not showing their other Meetup Groups, there isn't anyway to link to the sort for group.

                  • restore the average rating display

                    Average ratings of meetups should be restored. This feedback is important in attracting new people. And the host's own rating should not be included, since it's always a "5"

                    • Separate photo albums for each group

                      Please add the ability to hide or unhide photos from each group. Currently it's all or nothing when uploading photos, they are either displayed to all groups or none.

                        • Give organizers ability to remove negative/harmful comments that members leave in"who went" section

                          it's very common for all groups that after someone attends a meetup event to get some negative comments which often influences other group members. Some negative comments can be from competitors trying to hurt another group. Anyway, it used to be that you can delete bad comments in the "who went" section when they had the "edit rsvp's feature" You simply put the person who left negative comment by clicking their name and putting them in the "did not attend" and they're negative comment and photo was gone. Now if you see a negative or damaging comment you have to…

                          • Add a time span or dates covered feature in the Money page

                            The Money tracking feature page is excellent! However, the bar chart doesn't tell you the time period covered - 1 year? 1 month? 1 day? We've been tracking our money for several years now, so the totals look like we're raking it in and there's no way to indicate a yearly or monthly average or the actual dates covered.

                                • Tagging photos shows YES RSVPs first in list

                                  When tagging photos, members who attended the event should appear at the top of search results, or include a graphic or text indicating RSVP status. Many times, there are multiple people with the same name, and It would be easier to tag the correct person if their RSVP status was displayed here.

                                  • Dues Functionality

                                    Give me the functionality to actually use the levels of membership. For instance, I want to be able to "require payment to rsvp" for non dues paying members, and then to NOT require payment for my dues payers.

                                        • Automatically add questions to ALL new meetups even user created ones.

                                          I want to add questions to ALL new meetups in my group such as "How many hours are you planning on staying?" etc.

                                          Given that you have added the auto-meetup feature so preemptively its the least we can ask for!
